Vaginal Health :: Brown Discharge/foul Odor And Increasing Discomfort
Jan 13, 2016
Last month, between totally regular, normal periods, I had a watery brown discharge for 2 days. It was foul smelling and very soppy but aside from the smell it seemed like dried blood finally coming down.
This last week I began noticing a foul smell whenever I went to the bathroom. It smelt like fecal matter, so I simply thought it was my bowels giving me a hard time. I was mortified to find out that during intercourse later that day, the foul smell increased. It was emitting from deep within my vagina! My husband politely told me I smelled 'yeasty' but I have had many yeast/BV infections and even PID and nothing compared to this! Furthermore, there is no itching or irritation. I would never have known about the smell if we hadn't engaged in sex.
I took some AZO yeast and medicated with some anti-yeast suppositories but it has been over a week and the smell has only increased. The brown, watery discharge has also come back. It literally smells like a rat crawled up there and died. Furthermore, I am beginning to feel very sore deep inside my vagina, close to my cervix, (almost like the onset of a PID). I did a pregnancy check: I am not pregnant. My husband swears he can 'feel' something rough at the end of my vagina during intercourse. I had a PAP smear/colposcopy 6 months ago and they told me that I was in the clear with regard to HPV (previously I had been on the alert to make sure nothing spread, but the doctors told me they hadn't seen any growth and that I was looking okay).
I've had ovarian cysts before, but they were removed. I've had a lot of women's issues in the past, but nothing this elusive or mystifying (or gross). Even my yeast infections are less smelly with less discharge than this! Help, does this sound like anything? I've looked at possible causes online and there are very few things that meet the criteria of fouls-smelling w/brown discharge with NO irritation and I am at a loss.

For the past couple days I have been experiencing this insanely disgusting odor from my vagina, especially during intercourse. At first I thought it was the smell of dry blood because my partner and I started having intercourse the day my period was suppose to end. After we finished we both noticed a horrible smell and that there were brown stains. I assumed that it was dry blood, but after a couple days the smell and brown discharge did not disappear, it just got worse. I felt some discomfort during intercourse but other than that physically I didn't feel anything, the only thing that was uncomfortable was the disgusting smell. The discharge was a brown liquid most noticeable when whilst on the toilet. I noticed that the discharge was coming deep within my vagina. So I started to google my symptoms and I my results came up with having a vaginal fistula. But it didn't make sense. I came across this website and the forum started by pain and shame, where you are now no longer able to comment thus why I am starting a new thread, and saw that she had the exact same symptoms that I was experiencing. I continued reading and she said that the root of her problem was a lost tampon. I thought to myself "no, that's impossible". Once reading the comments I went to the bathroom to check and to my utter most surprise I indeed found a tampon deep within my vagina. I was completely shocked, I had no idea that this was even possible. The tampon had rolled up deep inside and was difficult to remove, you definitely need time and patience to remove it. This definitely opened my eyes, I never knew this was possible and the consequences could have been dangerous, such as TSS. I just want readers to be aware that this can happen and if anyone is experiencing what I went through they should first check for a lost tampon.

I've been having greenish yellow vaginal discharge with no odor. I've been sexually active with one person and always use a condom. What could it be? Should I be worried?

For the last 4 days I have had thin slightly brownish discharge that has almost no odor .If any odor at all, it smells kind of like mediciney. I have a lot of vaginal itching as well .My diet is very healthy .Almost no sugar, I take probiotics,Apple cider vinegar, and coconut oil ever day . I can figure out what's going on. The itchiness isn't as bad as it was. I have no pelvic pain .I have tried some alternative treatments such as tea tree oil and garlic .I have been with the same partner for 4 years and we are monogamous . We both were tested 4 years ago for std's and were negative .Except I tested positive for"trich" which is a little bug. We were both treated and my symptoms are not anything like those symptoms . Anyone have any thoughts? Also, I am otherwise in great health and feel great so I am trying to avoid going to a doctor for now .

I am 14 years old and I have noticed since I was around 12 I have like this fishy type smell odor that comes from my vaginia . It is really embarrassing because I can just be sitting in class and I will start to smell it and I don't know if anybody else can smell it. I also get very wet and often my underwear will be soaked by the time I get home from school so I have to change them. I am too embarrassed to talk to my mom about this because then she will think I'm sexually active or something when I'm not . I am still a virgin and I have never been fingered .

unpleasant just very strong(at least to me) people seem to act normal around me (&))' I don't know if they do it to be nice or because they don't smell
anything.Yet when i put my finger into my vagina there's white discharge.I'm afraid that when i decide to have sex that my boyfriend may try to finger me and he'll be grossed out. Also i'm afraid people smell my "scent" which really makes me feel embarrassed.

The week before Easter I starting having extreme burning, itching, discharge, odor which increased after sex. Went to the Dr found out I had BV. Took the full prescription of oral meds felt relieved for short time and it came back. Went back to Dr said I showed a trace of the BV and prescribed intervaginal meds which I took along with Rephresh probiotic for about a month. In the last week the burning and itching has returned but my Dr is saying I test neg for BV, yeast, along with a half dz std's that I requested her test for. At this point my Dr is saying it could be an allergic reaction? I haven't changed products.

It seems to happen the most right before my period and it doesn't come out on its own I have to dig it out. Its disgusting. Idk what has caused this and to be honest I can't pinpoint exactly when it started. I know about 5 months ago in the shower I used a douche after my period and seen something clumpy come out. And I had noticed before that that when I was on my period it would be (what looked to me like bloody skin) on my tampon or when I would wipe im so embarrassed by it when me and my fiance have sex I don't let him go down on me or stick his finger in me im scared to death that I may not have gotten it all out and it get on him. Its nauseating really. I've been told by a dr that I needed to be checked for endometriosis and was told that it was a yeast infection by another dr. But i've taken the meds and its still here.

I'm 14 years old, 15 soon and I haven't had my period since around August (6 months). my period was regular until I got the birth control implant in my arm, (June) and then it was irregular. it would last for around two weeks and was light then it just stopped coming. I get sharp pains close to my hip bones and in my left side below my ribs. Recently I've had a lot of white discharge and a bad smell but today it was brown and smelled sour. I am sexually active but I am not pregnant.

A few days before my period, I had a condom rip. I'm on birth control but still took a plan B. Even so, the period was missed. Took a pregnancy test 2 days after the usual period day and it showed negative. About a day later, I started having a thick pink discharge and after a few days of that, brown discharge. Any idea as to what is going on?

There's this brown stuff in my undies. it's been happening for about 3 days now, and won't go away I'm not cramping i feel totally normal... usually it's yellowish but at first clear. Idk what this is!?i wash it there but it's still brown, Idk what this is and i can feel it squirt out and its gross! Can anyone give me an explanation on what's going in? (I've never had this before and I've never had a period) I've had the yellowish stuff for about 2 years now it is usually clear then turns yellowish( sometimes it's like a gooey booger form). I have one more question.. it smells weird down there...ever since 3 years ago...does every woman/girl have their one sent or should they all smell like nothing? And if so then how do u make it smell like nothing?

So i just got an IUD inserted yesterday, and today I'm having foul smell spotting. The doctor's office told me it's probably just the iodine clearing out with the bleeding, but they didn't say how long it would last. Has anyone else had to deal with this nonsense, and if you have, how long did it take to get rid of the odor?
